Another Update

Hi everyone! So I had a crazy crazy month.. Heres what Ive been doing.

My friend Liz and I started a non-profit organization called "MICFA"
Maryland Independent Consumers and Farmers Association
Check out MICFA...(Maryland Independent Consumers and Farmers Association)
http://micfa.net/

Our purpose is to promote and preserve unregulated direct farmer-to-consumer trade that fosters availability of locally grown or home-produced food products.
Help give freedom a voice. Let's take back some of the ground that we've lost to global agendas and government interference. Be a true patriot.
MICFA was incorporated just last month! Help support a worthy cause and become a member!!

I get my blood work done on Monday, so Ill do another post with news there. But of course as you all know, the blood work will look good!! I have a PET/CT scan next week too. So it will be nice to see NO CANCER!!!! Everyone think the same thing, Ill be CLEAR!!! The more people who say it the better!!!

I was just in Los Angeles.. I coordinated a "Body Ecology Certification Class". It was a long week but wonderful! I met a lot of great people and Scott was the chef who cooked for 25 people breakfast lunch and dinner everyday! Everyone kept saying, is he willing to travel? OF COURSE HE IS!! They want to rent him for a week or two so that he can cook for them as well
as teach them how to cook The Body Ecology Way!! Isnt that great! So now I need to come up with Marketing materials for him. That would be great! I might end up coordinating more events for Body Ecology, however it most likely wont be until next year.

The Race for the Cure was Saturday and a lot of fun! It was great to see everyone come out for the event. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO DONATED OR PARTICIPATED! Its such a worthy cause!! My friends Jodi and Barb came in from Colorado and my friend Liz came in from New York! It was a great turn out!
Here are some pics of the Race: http://homepage.mac.com/lyndameier/PhotoAlbum25.html
